10 Key workflow advantages

ALWAYS READY ON LOCATIONP2 cam products offer continuous pre-recording and loop-recording, so there is much less chance for a news crew to miss an important event, and there is no waiting for scanners or media to spin-up prior to recording.

MARKING KEY FILE SCENESThe camera operator can mark at the camera head the key files and scenes with icons to help production staff back at the station identify crucial scenes, thus saving time in post-production.

SEND PROXY VIDEO FROM CAMERA HEADP2 allows browse video such as MPEG-4 AVC to be sent from the camera head over wireless LAN for review by production personnel or offline editing.

NO INGEST TIME When a P2 card is inserted into a laptop computer’s PCMCIA slot, it can be instantly recognized as a mounted drive. This permits instant editing or network transmission operations to take place, with no need for “digitising” or “ingesting”.

DIRECT EDITING ON THE CARDThe P2 card can be used for direct editing. This means that the journalist in the field using a standard laptop can start editing immediately with no need to load up.

MXF AT THE CAMERA HEAD MXF is “wrapped” round the DVCPRO DIF file format at the camera head. The file can immediately be recognized and tagged by newsroom and digital archiving systems.

PLAY LIST FUNCTIONA unique feature of the P2 deck is the play list making function. The P2 deck can be a simple non-linear editor when cuts-only editing is required.

ADDITIONAL CONNECTION TO IT ENVIRONMENTProvision of IEEE1394 and USB2.0 digital data interfaces on the camera supports in-field nonlinear editing and provides a path for hard disk recording or videotape dubbing directly from the camera.

RAPID TRANSFER RATE ONTO NETWORKAt a lightning fast 600 Mbps+, P2 files can be quickly transferred onto the network. With some broadcasters archiving all material at the station prior to editing, P2 offers massive timesaving.
